I believe Monsters Inc is the same, single track in the middle, these just travel in a strait line throught the attraction guests facing forward the whole time. I would guess the system without the track is a version of the Omnimover, something like Omnimover 5.0 or 6.0.

Pooh at WDW has a track.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

So beware of articles you find on Wikipedia.

There was something like that on "The Simpsons" Sunday night.

I can't remember it exactly, but Homer told Bart some "fact" and Bart said that he read something about whatever "fact" Homer had said on Wikipedia.

(now this part I remember)

Homer: Don't you worry about wikipedia, we'll change that when we get home. We'll change a lot of things......

And as we are now discussing the merits of Wikipedia, I thought this would be appropriate.

I posted over in the disability section of another board info on WDW smells. There are machines that do pipe in smells like the dank old world smell of the Ellen ride and the Winnie the Pooh ride gets a bit of honey smell.

The water rides do at time get a funky water smell which is natural but for me worst is candle and perfume shops. At DLR the candle shop would make me gag after a while. I wante to buy stuff for friends but gagged. Not their fault though as i just cannot handle certain perfumes and odours.
